Sure you can make a sandwich at home, but are you going to bake your own bread?

If you do, good for you — for the rest of us, it’s worth the money for someone else to make the sandwiches. They’re cheap anyway.

Complicated sandwiches are filled with many layered components that require care, but they are oh so worth it. Here’s our third list of stellar sandwiches in Tucson to put on your radar.
